Description

V2 adds helper types for configuring props, but there's cases that cannot be covered by props properly (TanStack Table, TanStack Router).

For those, there should be a typed way to access form context from form.AppForm. It would be as straightforward as useFormContextWithOptions(formOptions) (not with that name).

Research direction

Start by locating the v2 helper types and the form.AppForm implementation, then trace how formOptions and context are currently typed. Check the TanStack Table and TanStack Router cases; done means a typed access path handles those configurations without relying on props.
